Child friendly?

[Tom Kramer]

I read a review of the H3 on the Yahoo site and someone said there were no childproof locks on the rear doors. Say it isn't so!!!
Also, we have a 2 year old with twins on the way. Does anyone know if three car seats will fit on the back seat?

All H3 automatics's have the auto door lock when put into gear. I'm not sure about the manual trans.

Agree, but I realize everybody has different needs/uses for these rigs.

Maybe its just me But in the 70's 80's There were no child locks I remember if I touched something I was not To I seen my dads best back hand (if we get off the cell phone and watch our kids everything will be ok ( ok Gm is being cheap)lol

I too read about the lack of child locks on YAHOO. I asked my dealer when I bought it, and he was unsure. We looked, and could find no visible child locks. We could also not find any mention of their existence in the manual. If they exist I have been unable to find them.

that is odd... mine does have the child proof locks... can't imagine Dept. of Transportation enforces airbags but not child safety locks. Anyway I have a button on the door below the window controls with a car door window and an x over it that takes the two back doors off the grid.

I think 3 seats back there could be pretty tight but I survived childhood without a car seat or childproff locks

Congrats on the twins.

There is a ratchet-style car seat security device on the market called a "mightytite". Here's the link:

We used this little device religiously and boy, did it work! Stopped all the cursing but not before my first picked it up Ah, well!

Duct tape!

I've read someone'e review where they did have 3 seats in the back but it was tight. I'm not sure about the child locks..I'll have to check.

[bparker]

It isnt so...

[DDWH]

3 car seats should fit in the back of the H3. As for the child locks not sure...Maybe you should look into getting an H2? It will fit 3 car seats no problem and I know for sure it has the child locks

[nmikes]

holy crap... who'd a thought. Is the H2 like this as well? Thats kinda nuts... someone needs to tell hummer of this little oversight.

Thank you. We're pretty excited.
Not having childproof locks is a serious omission IMHO. Maybe the 2007 will add them.

Never really think about it since I don't have any small kids but I am surpised they didn't include them.

correct me if I'm wrong... that just shuts the window controls. and it cuts for every window except driver.

I think they are asking about that little switch usually located inside the door well which you can flip to on or off. This will eliminate the door from being opened from the inside.

and... I just ran outside to check on the h3 and infact we DONT have child locks. I'm actually surprised to see this as well.
